UNSPSC 50122404: Wild caught black tiger shrimp

In this classification, this entry represents the species of shellfish known as Black Tiger Shrimp, that was raised in the wild and harvested as an adult, and is presumed to have grown as an organic and Non GMO species.

UNSPSC 50122404 Wild caught black tiger shrimp is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this product almost exclusively through school nutrition programs, where it appears as a line item within broader food service solicitations. The code shows activity among Georgia school districts, county boards of education, and the State of Georgia, but wild caught black tiger shrimp does not emerge as a distinct procurement category in its own right. Instead, it surfaces as one item among hundreds in multi-category food supply bids where shrimp and other proteins are bundled with frozen and refrigerated products, vegetables, grains, and non-food supplies. The issuing bodies are primarily school food authorities—Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, and Houston County School District—alongside Invest Atlanta (for municipal market supply), the City Schools of Decatur, and the State of Georgia. These jurisdictions solicit food supply through Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Requests for Quotation (RFQ), with contract terms running July 1 through June 30 of the following year.

Recent Georgia school district IFBs confirm that wild caught black tiger shrimp (or equivalent frozen seafood proteins) is specified within larger frozen protein categories rather than as a standalone commodity. The Dougherty County Board of Education IFB for groceries (due May 19, 2026), Lamar County School District's six-category IFB structure (due May 20, 2026), and Houston County School District's direct-delivery food bid (due April 17, 2026, valued at approximately $14 million annually) all encompass protein products including seafood, though no single opportunity isolates black tiger shrimp. The Douglas County School System's broader Food Supply and Distribution RFP (due February 18, 2026, estimated annual spend $9 million) and the Invest Atlanta municipal market solicitation (due August 6, 2026) similarly integrate protein sourcing without explicit line-item callouts for this specific product. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with no recent opportunities from other states visible in the dataset. Given the code's narrow specificity and its subsumption within generalist food-supply bundles, pursuit depends on established relationships with school food authorities already in contract incumbent positions or on entry through larger food-distribution platforms serving multiple districts simultaneously.
